That’s why we envision a world where community college students are supported, challenged and inspired to succeed from the moment they step on campus to the day they earn their degrees.
Our Approach
Completion by Design takes a systemic approach to create clear and intentional pathways that make it easier for students to complete their studies.
We help colleges look at each point in the student experience to identify where they succeed and keep going, and where they falter and lose momentum.
Pathway Principles
Completion by Design (CbD) has identified a set of pathway design principles drawn from research, practice, and participating colleges' experience during the planning phase.
While there is no single model for a completion pathway, these principles can help inform choices colleges make to maximize students' likelihood of completing a credential.
